Wondering if that plane is anything like the five that disappeared in 1945 - Flight 19, I believe they were known as.

The same plane!  Yes, the mystery of Flight 19.

No, it's not.

Boyington flew in a F4 Corsair, and Flight 19 consisted of Grummand Avengers.

The folding wing is a key indicator that this is a corsair fighter rather than the torpedo bomber.

Pretty sure Flight 19 had folding wings.

I was thinking of Scrap today as I was driving down by the Airbase in Newington NH.  They are having an Air show with that group of stunt jet fighters.....Thunderbirds or Blue Angels..this weekend.  They were flying low and loud, something Scrap would have loved.

Yeah, they do. They don't have that sharp angle though.

I don't believe New Hampshire as I've never met anyone from there or who has been there.  I think it's a completely made up place.  Like Narnia, Hogwarts, and Rhode Island.

He's dead?

It's always surreal to me when online regulars I've known for years are dead, but their profiles remain.

I agree. I'm still skeptical, not that I overly care if he is dead but something doesn't add up here

No I don't think anything is going on - I mean as in their remnants online make it surreal. Things like automatic facebook notifications and such. Almost makes it like a ghost. I felt the same when previous people I knew online died eg. Starbuline.

I mean, I'd love to think it's all an elaborate prank to troll people, mainly because it's no secret that I didn't like him, but I'll take people's word on here.

Oh I see. I still think something donesnt add up here, I have a few FB friends that have passed away, and I might rather like getting notifications from them. Makes me go back to their page and think of them
